14 This reminds me of a box I had with faulty memory - it would some times crash
15 when it was about to start using swap. If the buffering was too aggressive
16 the machine would crash. If not it would start swapping and carry on working
17 without further problems. I changed the offending memory module and had no
18 problems since.

20 Somebody else may know more with respect to the particular data dump you
21 provided, otherwise you could try troubleshooting it by using some more
22 involved memory/swap tests (not just mem86+).

24 HTH.
